[The thorns are going to wrap around him to stop his progress -- but they're careful enough not to scrape the body he's in, focusing on clothing.]

[Because she trusts him to be able to do that -- he's strong and kind, brave and noble, he's everything she can't be and so much more. If anyone could let go of the past, it'd be him. He just needs a little push.
... And if that push is her dying, then fine. She's been a lost cause for years, hasn't she? Ever since that day she became connected to the barrier.
